“We are committed to resolving the water situation not just in St Peters but throughout the whole of St Kitts and Nevis,” he added.

Constantly updating the public on problems being addressed in a timely manner.” While another highlighted, “Glad to hear. Working for the people.” The third mentioned, “Great. Thanks for the update.”
